That's exactly what I mean.

If you tell people, "I'll take care of safeguarding your key for you," it sounds like you're just doing them a favor.

It would be more honest to say, "I can hold on to a copy of your key and automatically unlock your data when we think you need it opened," but that would make it too obvious that they might do so without your permission.
